Heartwood Tree Services

Patrick started this company with a belief that trees can be more important than line items on abudget. Starting with the first ancient tree he climbed as a teenager by his mom's house on St.John's Lane (which still proudlybisects the two ends of that street to this day), he grew hisbusiness one tree at a time, and though that sounds clichéd, he still remembers every tree he hasever been involved with.

In the beginning, there was a truck, a dog named Chainsaw, and some tree climbers. 30 yearslater, Heartwood has evolved from a group of passionate tree climbers, to an award winning,nationally recognized industry leader.

An attraction to the mystery of trees has led to a devotion to the science of understanding how tokillthem.

Tree Banding and Canker Worms

Autumnis no time to ‘fall’ off the tree bandwagon. Bands for canker worms should be in placeby mid-November to catch female moths before they lay eggs in the crowns of trees. They areout there right now. Beneath our very noses they are waiting, biding theirtime, waiting for anexceptionally cold night. Waiting to crawl from the depths and ascend into your peacefullyresting trees, only to rear their mandibles and consume precious new foliage in the spring.

Maintenance pruning is needed when trees are too close to houses, drooping over parking spaces,or have limbs too low to walk under. This type of pruning is done on a two to three year cycle.

Getting ample roof clearance without making the tree look like it was butchered is tough to do,but pruning back to laterals of sufficient size keeps a natural appearance to the tree. RoofClearance is attained, and this pruning should last a few years. This expense could have beenavoided, if the right tree were in this place. A River Birch is not a good choice for a foundationtree. They grow very quickly and have a spreading crown.
